When My Ship Comes In
written by: Dennis C Brown
When my ship comes in
I’ll bow out gracefully
Because I know my time has come
My ship has sailed its final sea
At times the water’s been so calm
Other times it’ll be so very rough
But I’ve weathered every mighty storm
And anchored down when things got tough
My children have been my keel
My wife has been my mast
All providing helping hands on deck
As I steer my ship from waters past
The many splendors of my voyage
And every moment lost at sea
Has made me who I am today
The valiant captain of my ship’s journey
But when my ship comes in at last
That’s not the end for me
I’ll remain the captain of my ship
For all of eternity
